Criminal Defense in Crestwood MO - starting at $450
There are really only a couple different ways in which to handle a criminal charge in Crestwood MO:
- You can represent yourself on the matter, and try your best to stay out of jail
- Or you can hire a good Crestwood MO criminal defense lawyer to help you out
If you choose the first option, then your chances of receiving a good outcome are low. Why? Because the court system (i.e. the judge and the prosecutor) will treat you as if you are in fact an attorney (because they have to). As a result, there is a high probability that you will end up pleading guilty to the charge (which is exactly what most people find themselves doing).
Pleading Guilty to the Charge Is Not Your Best Option!!But this is a really bad move!! Why? Because most misdemeanors can come with up to one (1) full year in jail and a very high fine! In addition, a guilty plea will result in a criminal conviction on your permanent record. This will make things very difficult for you in the future (especially if you are wanting to get a decent job, since most employers run background checks on all applicants).
It doesn’t have to go this way!! There is a far better route to take! We thoroughly examine the facts of your case, determine the best legal strategy moving forward, and get you the best possible outcome!! All you need to do is give us a call!
